Forged Steel Scrolls

Individual scrolls are MIG-welded to the gate or fence frame and to adjacent balusters or pickets. The weld points are typically ground smooth and the entire assembly is cleaned, primed, and painted or powder coated after fabrication. Scrolls can also be tack-welded at contact points where their curled tails touch adjacent elements.

Scrolls are primarily decorative. The structural integrity of a gate or fence panel comes from the posts, rails, and frame members. Scrolls add visual weight and pattern but are not load-bearing. That said, welded scroll infill does add rigidity to a panel and reduces racking.

Scrolls are a signature element of Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Victorian, French Provincial, and traditional American ironwork. In contemporary applications, clean geometric scroll arrangements without heavy ornamentation can also work well. The scale and density of the scroll pattern should be proportionate to the size of the panel — larger gates call for larger scrolls.
